The Fit-ish Mama

My tips and tricks on what has helped me live a happy and healthy(ish) lifestyle within the craziness of school, work, marriage, and my two little babies (and our cat)

Let me start by saying my name is Dena (dee-nuh) and I am so incredibly glad you are here in my little corner of the internet! 4 years ago I hit what I would classify “rock bottom”. Working 2 (sometimes 3 jobs), in a Masters program, living in a new city without friends and family nearby, and trying to overall feel like I was fulfilled with what I was doing or working towards. I was experiencing severe anxiety regularly for the first time in my life and I had gone down the rabbit hole of microwaveable meals and 18 cups of chocolate milk to give me energy each day.

I started my first health and fitness program after watching a friend from school live her fullest life as a health and fitness coach. Within 2 months of the program, I was finding myself with more energy during my days, taking less naps, going beyond just running on fumes. I’d been able to channel my anxiety into fitness. Had less migraines (which I was diagnosed with at the age of five). I was a new me! I was so excited about the results I was getting that I decided I wanted to become a health and fitness coach myself and share my best tips and tricks on how I was able to find success while still being able to have the Monday Starbucks pick-me-up and Friday Chick-fil-a lunch without feeling guilty about (;

My goal is to share all my knowledge to help you in your mental and physical health and fitness journey as well. Sharing all the tips and tricks that worked for me to find that success and fulfillment.

Within the last 2 years, I’ve also become a mom of 2 and have progressed my coaching business in a way that has been unmatched by success that came from other jobs. With that being said, I love helping others build a business as a coach too! I will help teach you and give you the tools to find success as a coach along with sharing a community of other women running their own businesses and sharing their success too!

Lastly, I just wanted to share my background on joining my first challenge group before becoming a coach. I knew I wanted to get started but didn’t feel like I was “ready” to be in a group. I spent 3 months doing literally nothing but wanting to start and telling myself I would. And then doing nothing. Since then I’ve come to learn that it’s better to take the leap when you’re only 20% ready than it is to wait until you’re 100%. Why? Because sometimes you don’t reach 100% until you’re in the middle of it already! There’s a lot of things I wasn’t “ready for” in my life that I decided to take the leap and start right then and there in the messy middle of it that have turned out to be exactly what I needed in that time of 20% and have since worked my way into the 100% through the messy action. This is your sign to take messy action and just go for it! It could be beautiful(:

Trying to Figure Out if You Should Become a Coach?

If you saw the last slide you know I’m going to start by saying take the messy action. Things aren’t perfect and you don’t need to wait u til they are before taking a chance on yourself. Take it from a perfectionist.

If you’re wondering if you can make coaching work for you here are some traits of coaches that find success in their business:

- you’re ready to commit and willing to go all in with it
- you’re willing to put 1 - 2 hours a day into your business
- you’re currently on a health and fitness journey or want to start
- you’re eager to learn and be coachable
- you’re slightly scared (because who wouldn’t be? It’s something new!) but not going to let that hold you back!

If any of these felt like you, I’m telling you, become a coach! I will help provide you with an entire team of other successful coaches inside this beautiful community of entrepreneurs! We will share all the tools we use to find success to help you find it too!

Lastly, I can not stress enough to Take Messy Action! If you’re even slightly considering becoming a coach, DO IT. We should never let the fear of failing keep us from trying because then we’d never do anything. And in reality that one step you’re too scared to take could be the step that leads you to your brightest future!
